About The Tasting Room

An evening at The Tasting Room is built around Portuguese wine, and the staff know it cold — every bottle gets explained, and they read what you like fast enough that the recommendation lands right. The tapas are the thing to eat alongside: the chorizo comes flambéed at the table, the prawns are worth ordering twice, and the sardines and octopus salad keep appearing in what people write home about. The room draws a lively crowd, and the energy in the place carries the night as much as what's in the glass. For anyone wanting to move through Portugal's wine regions with someone who can actually talk about what's in the bottle, there are few better rooms in Cascais to do it.

The Tasting Room is the neighbourhood spot done right — unhurried, unpretentious, with a wine list that gives it an edge over most of its category.

In the last 90 days, The Tasting Room has drawn 8 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
